Carrying the VL01SOG Vulcan Knife allows you to be prepared for many situations. This Stainless Steel SOG Knife has a 3.5" blade, and overall, it folds down to just 4.75" when it is closed. The ambidextrous one-handed opening makes it simple to open with either hand. The reversible SOG pocket clip on the knife lets you carry it easily on either your left or your right side while the lightweight design doesn't weigh you down.

Purchased the knife from Wal Mart because of best price. The VG-10 laminated steel is pricey and after price comparisons at a dozen or more knife sites I tripped upon Wal Mart's site. I did not think they would carry this quality of knife. They do and purchase and free shipping was a no-brainer. Quality knife and quite satisfied with my new knife.

I have been collecting knives for 20 years and currently own a couple hundred different types of knives. Out of the manual folding knives the SOG Vulcan is one of the best all around manual folders you can buy period. It is a much better value than any Benchmade of similar pricing. The ergonomics are top notch, it has full steel liners, the SOG Arc lock system is in my opinion superior to Benchmades Axis lock and the blade on any of the Vulcans are phenomenal thick slabs of Japanese VG10 steel. Deploying the blade can be done just as fast if not faster than an automatic. Best part of the Vulcan line is that they are all made in Seki City Japan which is a giant foundry and factory that has been making high quality blades of all types for get this...1000 years...I kid you not. Seki City made knives equals its gonna be top notch or better. Buy it!

A while back I was looking for a knife. The first SOG knife I saw was the Vulcan Mini. Nice knife, but it was too small for my hand. I could only fit three fingers on the handle. Then I tried the regular Vulcan. Perfect fit. My entire hand fit nicely around the handle. No slipping or any fingers hanging off the end. I would recommend this knife to anyone that wants a full size, locking blade knife that easily fits in your pocket. Obviously, if you want spring assist opening, this is not the knife for you, but I thought this was a great alternative to having to use a safety or having it accidentally open in your pocket. One thing to keep in mind though. The blade does need frequent sharpening. Even with the super hard steel, it just doesn't hold an edge for long. Even still, I would buy another one of these in a minute.

I've owned my Vulcan for a few months now and without a doubt the best folder I've ever owned! On top of being unbelievably sharp, having thumb-studs as well as flipper separates it from other high-end folding knives. It's held it's edge quite nicely and to be honest, just looks better than most blades at it's price-point. I never hit the door without this on my person, in pocket or EDC pack. In a word, outstanding! BK

I've had my Vulcan for about one year now. I told my son that I wanted a SOG knife for my birthday and he picked the Vulcan. I was a little leery as I had the Twitch XL as my daily carry and thought nothing would beat it or even match. Well, the Vulcan is presently in my pocket as my daily carry as I am typing this review. I like it over other knives because it is single hand opening and closing. It is balanced perfectly. Holding one finger just in back and under the blade lock release you find the center of balance. This is in the perfect spot as you hold the knife fully in your hand. It feels like an extension of your own hand. The blade releases from the handle like warm butter. Holding the knife, clip pointing up and lock release towards the ground. Release the blade and it opens fully and locks with gravity...that is how smooth it is. There is absolutely no blade play. Try moving the blade to find a back and forth wiggle. None. Tight as a drum. The blade looks mean and durable. It is. I have used it now for a year on different applications from box cutting to wood whittling and it holds its edge very well. I use a wet stone for sharpening and it is always impressive to friends and colleagues who ask to borrow my Vulcan. I warn them not to see how sharp it is by touching the blade because you can almost shave with this knife. Very sharp. The clip is the perfect weight and size. I can easily withdraw it off of my pant's pocket and immediately open it single handidly with one smooth fluid motion. Other knives are too attached to remove without effort...not the Vulcan. I love this knife. I am a big SOG fan . I own Benchmade, Gerber, and others, but I tell my friends, "Buy a SOG Vulcan".
